Just so you know, The Sun is a truly shitty horrible, lying rag of a paper - if you’re not from the UK, you wouldn’t know of course, so no criticism, just FYI 🙂

Are we including electromagnets? If so, an awful lot of motors would suddenly just not work anymore.

Great tune!

Good shout - OP, this is probably the one.

Oh yeah! I’d forgotten people used to do that - not seen that in ages.

Oh wow - I thought it was a cool pic through a hole maybe 2 feet tall. Then I saw the person! Absolute /peopleforscale moment. Always liked that subreddit, not sure if there’s a Lemmy equivalent.

And that’s the doves. The hawks are more like…

Edinburgh, Scotland - we had quite a lot of T/Ters (or guisers, as it’s often better known here, among older generations anyway). Maybe 10-15 groups. A lot of families round our way and we usually have a fairly busy night, so no change from normal :-)

This is a stunningly beautiful extended metaphor.

To be honest, after some initial difficulty in grasping the concept of federation (which I certainly don’t claim to fully understand even now) this place feels just as easy to use as Reddit.

I think that’s partly because I almost exclusively used Reddit via the Sync app, and I now use Lemmy almost exclusively through Sync as well. The experience is basically the same, except that it’s a bit quieter, but as someone else alluded to, that’s maybe no bad thing as it means I spend less time here. Instead I just dip in and out, and that’s fine.

Oh, I’m so sorry, this is Abuse.

No pumpkins at our local supermarket, so we’re going with a pineapple and a watermelon. Have tried both before, and both work great!

+1 on Ask Dad videos - this is a good channel: https://youtube.com/@dadhowdoi

Also +1 on everything else you said, especially the never stop learning point.

OP, it’s totally ok not to know things - you can seek them out in advance, or you can discover them along the way, as and when necessary.

You’ll be ok, pretty much everyone muddles through life one way or another. Best of luck 👍

Meh, you won’t know what you forgot.

Yeah but you might know that you forgot, and that you used to know.

Imagine one day looking at your kid and having no idea what their name is. You know you should know, you know you used to know, but now it’s gone.

That, but with everything important in your life. Scares the shit out of me!

Naggers, right?

John Cazale - every film he was in was Oscar nominated for Best Picture, so you’d imagine this extra one would have a shot at being good too.

Here’s a few - looking forward to discovering more from this thread!

Mory Kanté’s Yeke Yeke, especially the Hardfloor and Afro Acid remixes.

Gaspar Nali’s A Bale Ndikuwuzeni

Afro-Cuban Allstars - Amor Verdadero

Lexicon Avenue - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix)

Leftfield - Afro Left

Eugène Mona - Lizo (Kiko Navarro Afroterraneo Mix)

Certain members of those groups. Not those groups in toto. Most people, of whatever generation, ever really have meaningful power.

Pedantry, but the song is called Killing in the Name. There’s no “of” in the title.

Genx are the same as boomers ideologically

That’s an incredibly simplistic take, to put it nicely.

First, not all Boomers have the same ideology as each other.

Second, not all Gen X have the same ideology as each other either.

So, please explain how GenX are the same as boomers?
